From Wyoming and Oregon comes a story most bizarre: Scarlett Johansson\u2019s voice being used to frighten away wolves.<\/p>\n
Famed for their emotional intelligence, the gray wolf population around Greater Yellowstone are obviously not adept enough to detect acting when they hear it, as it was a scene from Johansson\u2019s film Marriage Story\u00a0that has them spooked.<\/p>\n
Ever since gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, farmers have had to deal with attacks on their livestock. Some were seeing double digit losses of cattle in a single month.<\/p>\n
They are protected and cannot be fired upon or poisoned, so according to multiple reports farmers are using drones to pass over their land playing AC\/DC music and the aforementioned Johansson film.<\/p>\n
Most could probably understand how \u201cHell\u2019s Bells\u201d could scare an animal away, but biologists have noted that wolves, for whatever reason, find the sounds of humans arguing disturbing enough to be deterred by them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,\u201d the aptly-named Paul Wolf, a USDA district supervisor in Oregon, told the Wall Street Journal, who first confirmed that Johansson\u2019s voice from that particular film clip was being played by the drones.<\/p>\n
